Name This Tune?

I just tried to reach what sounds a very useful site mentioned in the
UK Sunday Times ('Doors' section), which allows whistled input to
determine the name of a tune:
http://www.name-this-tune.com/

But all my attempts have failed so far. Anyone else able to reach it
please?

Not here either.

It's the power of the Press, one mention and the product/service is
sold out/overwhelmed, give it a few days.

Post the tune here and we'll try and help :-)

OK, thanks Jeff. I did in fact eventually reach the site, but couldn't
get its Java Applet to work. Looked somewhat daunting at first sight,
so I welcome your more direct suggestion of posting it here!

This is the tune my wife is trying to identify. My whistled fragment
is here:

Hi Terry,

This is it I think - albeit a rather jazzed up version and only a clip. Your
whistle is the chorus.

Sounds like 'There is a Tavern in the Town' to me?

There is a tavern in the town,in the town,
And there my true love lays me down, lays me down

Any good?

Sounds more like 'heads, shoulders, knees and toes' to me.... or have I
just been spending too much time with the kids??

Excellent - thanks both. It was indeed 'Tavern In The Town'! But the
other, Head & Shoulders, was familiar too. As it was a chorus, it may
have been confusing her recollection.

Much appreciate the fast replies.

I think that probably makes us all grumpy old men, sadly :-)
